Requirement to enter passcode every 48 hours

Perhaps you should learn to read & follow a thread before commenting on that thread...

That is not helping folks, so kindly stop.

Thank you.

You should learn to ignore comments in a public forum if you don’t like them.

Also, you responded to a post from May 2014, when this wasn’t an issue with iPhone 6s running iOS 9.0.2.

and the Phone 6 was still 6 months from being released!

An employer profile was exactly the issue on the first page of this thread (which was then resurrected 17 months later when it seems a bug in iOS 9 appeared)...

Thank you.

This his has been a useful discussion, which will hopefully go away with iOS 9.1.

but it started with the employer adding a profile on iPhone 5S and iOS 8 then the tread was pulled up because someone was not paying attention.

Same here, several days without this false 48h password request, but this morning it happened again (iPhone 5s, iOS9.0.2). It did it despite using the phone all day yesterday. Initially I saw it only about 48h after I restarted the phone, but this is indeed different and somewhat intermittent too. Hope this helps to debug the issue.

I think pasquires is onto something...

I only seem to get asked to type my passphrase in the mornings after having left the phone to charge overnight. (So in the 4+ hour range on charge or alternatively going past midnight on the charge?)

I too charge my phone every night. It's only happened three or so times for me, but when it has happened, it was only in the morning after the phone has charged all night. No idea whether that's a coincidence, but it is a fact.

There are too many variables involved. It could be overnight, whether it was charged during that time, or not. It could be idle for more that a certain amount of time (e.g., 1 hour). I know it has happened to me in the afternoon, when I had been using it in the morning. So as far as I can tell it is totally random.

Okay, none of this back and forth is helping.

My experience on this topic, my phone has done the 48 hours thing two weeks in a row, on the first morning after traveling from West to East across time zones in the US, and leaving the phone plugged in overnight. I use my phone every day of the week, so I should never see the 48 hours thing. I'll know later this week if it does the same.

Only one person seems to be posting ignorant comments on this thread.

Since you don't know what you are talking about and are clearly not interested in helping... well, others have asked you to stop and you've ignored them but, really, it's time for you to put a sock in it.

FFor me it's also only happened in the morning after charging all night, but more interestingly, it's only happened on Saturday mornings. Perhaps a coincidence, but it is what's happened. Hopefully it's been fixed with the update released today.

It's coincidence. It has happened to me at times other than the first wake-up in the morning. It's happened 3 times on my iPad, which I do NOT charge overnight, and once on my iPhone, which I do charge overnight. However, it happened during the day after I had used it several times.

Stumbled on to this thread searching for why this is happening to my iPad. Luckily, I don't think I've seen this happen on my phone but its frequent with the iPad. Similar to you and others, I charge phone ever night, iPad every few days. Didn't see much help/answers in this thread (but a LOT of flaming! which I can't see I see too much of on Apple boards!)

Hope we get a fix or a solution soon!

Stopped happening on my iPhone 6 Plus for the past two weeks, after doing it each of the prior two weeks, but it just occurred last night on my iPad air 2. I use both these devices every day, using the touch id to log in. There is definitely a bug in iOS 9.1, perhaps even was present in 9.0. I never had this happen pre-9.1, and I've had my iPhone 6 plus for just over a year, the iPad air 2 for a couple of months. Both are running 9.1. Still wondering where Apple outsources this development to...Apple is starting to look more and more like Microsoft. Would sure like Steve Jobs back at the helm, to take no prisoners when it comes to demanding higher quality. The current guy at the top just doesn't seem to have that figured out, not sure he ever will.

The only guessing involved is whether it was first introduced in 9.0 or 9.1.

Considering the first report of this issue in this thread was 3 weeks prior to 9.1 release (iOS 9.1 released on 21 October 2015), we can conclude it was NOT introduced with 9.1.

It was 9.0, 9.01 or 9.02.

Indeed, and people in this thread even mention their version.

I had the issue on 17th October with 9.0.2, and it happened this morning on 1st November with 9.1

Very frustrating as I use a very long mixed character/special character password to maximise the benefit of the fingerprint authentication.

Having to enter the password is annoying enough but what is really bugging me is not being able to enter the password and having to do a hard reset to get into my phone each time it happens. Is anyone else finding the on screen keyboard doesn't work when it locks?
